Its totally disgusting watching Capcom listening to those stupid countable people on the forums while leaving their old loyal fans hopeless with nothing .

Only reason I bought Revelations was because it mainly stars Jill, and only reason I bought Remember Me was because Nilin’s the cloest thing to a strong female protagonist we have left after this generation. Other than those two, like you, there’s been literally nothing they’ve put out or suggested that made me want to buy their stuff, and their past actions are a barrier to entry for me even of things that might pique my interest.

That could even be their future, sadly. I hope they can turn things around, and I agree with your opinion of Svensson’s contribution. I struggle to see cause for enthusiasm in anything upcoming from them. (Lost Planet 3?)

Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:23:32 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=387471#comment-510951I can pretty easily say that Christian Svensson seemed like the only good thing the company had left going for it. In the midst of all the awful, shitty things the company was pulling, he seemed to be the only one that actually cared about consumers and trying to do good things, rather than trying to force awful things on consumers and expecting easy money.

Over the years, it’s become increasingly obvious that the upper levels of the company have made working with and for it an incredibly toxic environment. I won’t be surprised if Capcom ends up like Atari and Sega before long, a shell of what it used to be, a mere reminder of a once great past.

Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:14:11 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=387471#comment-510902This doesn’t sound great: “While I wish the company the best of luck, Capcom is going in a different direction and the need for people at my level, relative to other areas, is lacking,” he added. “Those who know me well, know that I’ve been ready to go for quite some time.”

Did he tire of combative management…

Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:22:12 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=387471#comment-510872It seems like Capcom are really in trouble. It’s a shame they continued with Inafune’s insane drive to Westernize so many of their products after he was gone, since we see how poorly it effected them.

Really, the only two money makers left they have are Street Fighter and Resident Evil. They should consider that it was their Japanese games that brought them to such high prominence in the past and that maybe it is time to focus on those in the future if they want to recover.
